Death From Above Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Steam sales are not nearly as nuts as they used to be. I remember last year there was a lot of noise from some developers that they were overdoing it to the point no one was willing to pay full retail for games and it was killing them. The last couple major seasonal sales have been far less radical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSC Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yea I'm all over Stardew Valley for $11.99 but other than that nothing too remarkable today (that I can actually play on my laptop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Pretty sure the only things I'll get this time around are a second copy of Victor Vran so my fiancee and I can play together and maybe Offworld Trading Company, even though I try to avoid giving Stardock money.

Raziel Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I ended up with the updated Gauntlet and Stardew Valley. I an totally satisfied with both these purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I just got Steam, but how do I know if my system meets requirements for certain games? I'm assuming Steam doesn't have a system in place where it won't let you download games that you can't run on your laptop/PC, which is unfortunate since it asks for you to complete a survey when you download it and they have your specs.

Raziel Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri Gotta put a program that analyzes your system, but then it compares the stats against minimum requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Got the Left 4 Dead bundle. I'd played both games a bunch on 360, so $6 for both seemed reasonable. It's just a quick, fun time waster for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding with them is that parts of it had to be played online, which is why I have never bothered with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Grabbed Rocket League, 7 Days to Die, Superhot, and Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. But after playing Rocket League for a few minutes, I doubt those other three will get any play any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well shit. This laptop ain't that old, but it sucks apparently. I'll be surprised if I can even run Age of Empires 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are backwards compatible on the XB1, though, so I assume that you could still connect to a game on 360 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam has their "under two hours within two weeks of purchase" refund system, so you can always return a game if it won't run well on your set-up.

Basara Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Anyone in the UK after an XBox One that doesn't want to wait for the slim model, they've dropped a fair amount in price over the past week. Argos have the FIFA 16 bundle for £185. Currys have the 'Name Your Game' bundle for £185. Both the 500gig version. And Smyths have the 1TB model with The Division for £216 this weekend. I'm guessing it's places clearing out excess stock before the new model is released. I'm tempted but i don't really need an XBone. I was going to pick one up once there's enough exclusive titles to make it worth while and when the price is cheep enough. The price point is about there now, there's just not enough exclusives to make me bite yet. Am i right in thinking the Slim models main difference is the size, a bigger HD and the 4k blu-ray player?

RIPPA Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 What is so weird is that Banner Saga 2 only came out in mid-April so it seems odd that it would already be offered for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Alpha Protocol continues to stay off of the Games With Gold list so I will probably never anger blog about playing it since I will never pay cash money for that game even if it is on sale.

Chaos Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 There's a New Xbox One for sale with a Kinect for $229 if someone wants to get an old model Xbox for dirt cheap. I may do that when the slim comes out myself and then trade bate up to a Scorpio next year just to get in some Halo 5. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xbox-One-500GB-Kinect-Bundle-with-Dance-Central-Sports-Rivals-Zoo-Tycoon-/301978612866?hash=item464f53f482:g:gjgAAOSw3YNXbYm-&rmvSB=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Koch Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Eh, it's ok. I got through the missions in about an hour and then deleted it. Kinda of yet another underwhelming choice especially since it is on sale on PSN every other week for $5 or under. They could have at least put up SR IV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I liked the first Call of Juarez quite a bit, so I'll def get Bound for Blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
